Question

Triangle ABC is shown. Use the graph to answer the question.



triangle ABC on a coordinate plane with vertices at 1 comma negative 2, 9 comma negative 2, 5 comma 2



Determine the coordinates of the image if triangle ABC is translated 4 units down.

Group of answer choices

A′(1, −6)

B′(9, −6)

C′(5, −2)


A′(−3, −2)

B′(5, −2)

C′(1, 2)


No answer text provided.

A′(5, −2)

B′(13, −2)

C′(9, 2)

Answer 1

Translate down 4 subtracts 4 from each y-coordinate:

A': (1, -2 − 4) = (1, -6)
B': (9, -2 − 4) = (9, -6)
C': (5, 2 − 4) = (5, -2)

So the correct choice is the first one.
